Great Wei Nengchen

Now that Zhang Gui has confessed and the sneak attack plan has completely failed, the rest of the captives are naturally shaken and have no confidence to persevere. However, nearly 200 people gathered together. If anyone is a traitor in person, his conscience will still be blamed!

Therefore, Xiao Yi ordered these people to be interrogated separately. Not only did the psychological pressure increase sharply, but also the sense of shame of betrayal was reduced. Anyway, the leader has already confessed. Even if he doesn't surrender, others will, right?

"At the fourth watch, use the fire as a sign, first three and then four, attack from inside and outside, and take back Lecheng in one fell swoop!"

"There are 5000 men and horses crossing the Han River, led by Zhang Lu's third son Zhang Yong and fourth son Zhang Sheng, and they are two brave and foolish guys!"

…………

In less than a cup of tea, most of the prisoners confessed. Compared with the confessions, they all told the truth. This is another advantage of separate interrogation, which can prevent these people from colluding.

Now that he knows the opponent's plan, the rest of the matter will be easy to deal with. Now it's just the second watch, and Xiao Yi calmly dispatches his troops, preparing to give the Hanzhong Army a big surprise! '

....................................

The moon is black and killing night, the wind is high and the sky is on fire. Tonight, the moon is covered by dark clouds, and the southeast wind is blowing quickly. Both sides of the Han River are quiet, as if there is a silent confrontation.

In the middle of the night, a fleet approached the north bank, sneaked into the reeds, and jumped off many Hanzhong soldiers one after another. For the convenience of night operations, they were all lightly armed with short blades and no armor. The leaders were Zhang Yong and Zhang Sheng brothers. !

The Zhang family brothers are only in their 20s and have never been in battle. Therefore, Zhang Lu did not let these two sons go into battle when they attacked Lecheng, but was only responsible for transporting food and grass!

And this time the surprise attack on Lecheng was done behind Li Ru's back. It was difficult to mobilize the troops of the camp, so as not to leak the news, so we had to send two sons here. Strong, but sneak attack should be enough.

"Hurry up, the ones behind are following up, there are so many mosquitoes here!"

"It will be the fourth watch soon, is there any movement in the city?"

…………

After the five thousand soldiers disembarked, they lurked among the reeds, all staring at the direction of Lecheng. If Zhang Gui and others succeeded, they would kill the guards at the top of the city and hang out three red lanterns!

It is the early autumn season, and the reeds are very lively. Mosquitoes, ticks, bedbugs... There are also silent leeches that are best at sucking blood. Hanzhong soldiers have suffered from old crimes, but they can only grit their teeth and persist.

Fortunately, according to the wishes of the people, as soon as the fourth watch arrived, three lanterns were hung on the top of the city, and then another appeared, just as agreed: "The red light is the sign, first three and then four!" '

"The city has already been taken, let's take back Lecheng in one go-up!"

Seeing that the plan was going well, the Zhang family brothers were overjoyed and led the soldiers to rush all the way to the city wall, and then they were stunned?

There are four lanterns in the sky above the city, but there is no rope hanging down to climb as agreed. They came here in a small boat and did not carry a ladder at all. How can they enter the city? Has the situation in the city changed, or...

"Haha, I don't have any sleep tonight. I want to watch the fireworks. I didn't expect the two young masters to have a good time. Let's watch together-look back!"

While the Hanzhong soldiers were panicking, countless figures suddenly appeared from the top of the city, holding a torch in one hand and a weapon in the other, and then Xiao Yi walked out of it, with a smirk on his face, pointing to the opposite bank!

It turned out that at some point, the Hanzhong army camp on the south bank suddenly burst into flames, and tonight there was a strong wind, and the fire spread quickly, and the entire south bank was ablaze with red!

"Surround on all sides, annihilate them all - kill!"

With a wave of Xiao Yi's hand, the rain of arrows fell all over the sky, and a large piece of the Hanzhong army fell down immediately, screaming one after another, and the formation was completely messed up

At the same time, a little bit of fire appeared from the surrounding reeds, and there was a rumble of war drums, as if thousands of troops surrounded them, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering!

"It's not good, we're in an ambush, hurry back to the south bank!"

"Base Camp is on fire too - run! run!"

…………

In fact, with the strength in Xiao Yi's hands, it was impossible to set up a tight siege, it was just a bluff. If Zhang Yong and Zhang Sheng were more calm, or more experienced, even though they couldn't take Lecheng by force, they could lead the team to retreat calmly.

It's a pity that the Zhang family brothers are too young and have never experienced a big scene. Seeing that the sneak attack plan failed and the camp on the South Bank was on fire again, the two of them panicked instantly, turned around and ran back.

The two main generals fled, and the soldiers followed naturally, and they ran like a swarm, throwing knives and guns, trampling each other, and countless casualties... Finally, I ran to the river, and I was dumbfounded all of a sudden. !

In order to sneak attack on Lecheng, they took more than 200 small boats, crossed the Han River secretly, and then hid the boats in the dense reeds, but only found on the shore that there were only thirty or forty boats left, and the rest sank. in the water.

It turned out that Xiao Yi had already arranged for Kuanglong and Juehu to lead 500 people, find out Lecheng from the tunnel, and hide in the reeds. After the Hanzhong army landed, they killed the remaining soldiers and scuttled most of the ships.

Someone must have asked, since Kuanglong and Juehu successfully attacked, why didn't all the warships be scuttled, wouldn't that cut off the Zhang family brothers' retreat?

The answer is: the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and the people desperately desperately. Although the Zhang family brothers are defeated, there are still thousands of soldiers. If their way back is cut off, it is likely to arouse the determination to attack Lecheng again!

One person is desperate, ten is difficult to defeat, thousands of people are all desperate, Xiao Yi may not be able to resist, Xiang Yu broke the boat and defeated hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, that is the best example!

It's better to leave dozens of ships and give the defeated soldiers a way out, so that instead of fighting desperately with Xiao Yi, they will compete for the ships and kill each other instead!

"Hurry up and grab the boat, and go back to the camp on the south bank, the pursuers are coming up!"

"The boat belongs to me, you go to die, kill it... protect the two sons, kill it!"

Sure enough, the defeated soldiers were stunned for a moment, and immediately started scrambling. Whoever can grab the ship will be able to return to the camp alive.

Quarrels, shoves, fights... finally turned into cannibalism. The defeated soldiers brandished their knives and guns and slashed at the colleagues around them.

Human heads rolled down, blood spurted, and floating corpses flowed down the Han River... Under the desire to survive, human nature was completely wiped out!

The Zhang family brothers were lucky. Under the protection of their own soldiers, they snatched a small boat and fled to the south bank. Of the [-] soldiers they brought with them, less than one-tenth of them survived!

Chapter 1493 Hanshui Decisive Victory ([-])

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that the fire on the south bank of the Han River was slowly extinguished. It was not extinguished by humans, but it was completely burned. The camps stretching for more than ten miles, countless tents, grain, grass, flags and drums... were all melted down. For ashes!

The personnel also suffered heavy losses: none of the [-] dead soldiers led by Zhang Gui failed to return, and they were all trapped in Lecheng. It is not known whether they are dead or alive.

Of the 400 soldiers of Zhang Yong and Zhang Sheng, only more than [-] escaped back, and the rest either died in battle or were fed to the fish and turtles in the Han River.

The Hanzhong army who stayed in the camp was also burned to death and injured 8000 people. This is because Zhang Lu saw that the situation was not good and issued the order to "abandon the camp to protect the people", otherwise the casualties would be even more serious!

"I regret that I did not listen to my master's words, and caused such a disastrous defeat, which cost the lives of countless soldiers. What face does this old man have? Goodbye to the elders of Nanzheng City, why don't you apologize with death!"

"Master Tianshi, please don't, absolutely don't - woo woo!"

…………

Facing the scorching black camp and the Han River full of floating corpses, Zhang Lu wept loudly, full of regret in his heart, hating himself for not listening to Li Ru's good advice and insisting on playing tricks and resourcefulness with Xiao Yi. There came a fiasco.

Then he drew his sword and wanted to commit suicide to apologize to the whole army. Fortunately, the generals around him were quick-sighted and stepped forward to stop Zhang Lu, snatched the sword, and cried into a ball with each other hugging their heads!

The Hanzhong Army suffered such a disastrous defeat, and the generals should bear the main responsibility. If they hadn't encouraged Zhang Lu to send troops late at night to attack Lecheng, how could they have fallen into Xiao Yi's trap, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals, and the destruction of the camp?

In addition, they were also too careless, thinking that Xiao Yi was short of troops and had no ships to use, so he could only hide in the city and defend to the death, so they relaxed their vigilance, so that the defense of the camp on the south bank was loose and full of loopholes!

Xiao Yi grasped this point, and using the dozen or so small boats he captured, sent people to secretly come to the south bank, and set fire to the camp by taking advantage of the wind. The people who set fire were also extremely vicious.

First they set fire to the left camp, and then blew trumpets and drums, shouting to fight and kill, attracting the Hanzhong army to fight, and then they set fire to the rear camp, where the air outlet was located, and the fire spread rapidly. It was too late.

These people were even more daring. Taking advantage of the chaos, they wore Hanzhong army uniforms and sneaked into the vicinity of the Chinese army tent, trying to capture or assassinate Zhang Lu.
